Archaeological evidence has been used to identify eighteenth century slip-decorated pottery, fine unmarked creamware, pearlware and the early products of the following century. Characteristic shapes and types of decoration are illustrated, including the complete range of transfer-printed designs on pottery. In porcelain, for which the Rockingham Works is justly renowned, its tea and dessert services, including those made for royalty and nobility, are described and illustrated, as are figures and the many ornamental items. All known factory marks are shown and guidance is given to help collectors avoid spurious wares. Many of the pieces illustrated are in private collections. They vary from items of extraordinary beauty and richness to more everyday wares. This book, with its many new findings and previously unpublished documentary material, provides an indispensable guide to this Pottery's remarkably diverse products. Alwyn and Angela Cox have researched the Rockingham pottery for more than thirty-five years and have produced numerous publications on its history and wares. Between them their academic backgrounds encompass an unusual blend of scientific research in glass and ceramics, Yorkshire local history, museum work, archaeology and the study of English ceramics. Both are longstanding members of the English Ceramic Circle, founder members of the Northern Ceramic Society and former Editors of the Journal of the Northern Ceramic Society.

ALBERT AMOR LTD. RECENT ACQUISITIONS AUTUMN 2019 37 BURY STREET, ST JAMES’S, LONDON SW1Y 6AU Opening Times Monday to Friday 10.00am - 5.30pm Saturday and Sunday by appointment Telephone: 0207 930 2444 www.ALBERTAMOR.co.uk Foreword I am delighted this autumn to present a catalogue of our recent acquisitions, the largest such catalogue we have issued for some time, and with a great variety of 18th and 19th century pieces. Amongst these, there are many items with an illustrious provenance, and many that have been widely illustrated over the years. We were fortunate to acquire a fine group of early Derby and important Rockingham from the collection of the late Dennis Rice, many pieces illustrated and discussed in his various books, including the rare mug, number 39, which he had acquired from us, and the unrecorded Rockingham horse, number 85. From a distinguished American collection we offer a superb pair of Bow models of Kestrels, a rare Chelsea group and two Chelsea figures, formerly in the celebrated collection of Irwin Untermyer at the Metropolitan Museum in New York. The rare early Chelsea beaker, number 7, was in the T D Barclay Collection, and the very unusual Chelsea vase, number 16, was formerly in the John Hewett Collection, and exhibited here in 1997. A great element of the history of Albert Amor Limited is our reputation for helping to form collections, and then in later years be called upon to help curate and disperse those collections again. For twenty five years I have been fortunate to work with Rt.
